Jerry’s parents, Allen and Clara, purchased the farm of 120 acres in 1951. At that time, they had only one breed of cow on the farm, Guernsey.

Jerry and Ann purchased the farm from Allen and Clara, along with 38 cows and 35 heifers, in 1978. Slowly they converted from Guernsey cows to Holsteins. In 1996 they started to modernize the farm. A free-stall barn with sand beds for cow comfort and a milking parlor were then built. A liquid manure system was installed to maintain good environmental and groundwater practices.

Today the farm consists of 220 acres of owned and rented land where they grow corn and alfalfa. Currently they have 150 cows along with 135 heifers. The herd average is 32,000 pound of milk per cow. The Lintners often use the phrase, “Happy cows come from Wisconsin.”

Daughter Jamie is the herdsperson at the farm. She is married to Reed Beyer and they have three children— Emma, 6; Trent, 4; and Cayden, 1. Jamie is also a part-time agriculture instructor and FFA advisor at Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah High School.
